CHICAGO -- The Oakland Athletics made another costly mistake Sunday. Custom Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys .A low throw
by second baseman Chad Pinder on a double-play attempt led to Chicago scoring
three runs in the first inning and the Athletics never recovered on the way to a
4-2 loss to the White Sox on Sunday.Ive just got to be better and more accurate
with that throw, said Pinder, who had several family members in attendance for
his first start in the majors.The loss was Oaklands seventh in its last eight
games.We had a bad trip, frustrated As manager Bob Melvin said. You know, 1-5 is
no good.Zach Neal (2-3) allowed four runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings in
place of Jesse Hahn, who had been expected to come off the disabled list. Hahn
suffered discomfort in his strained right shoulder in a bullpen session on
Friday and will need another rehab game before rejoining the Athletics
rotation.Jose Quintana pitched into the eighth inning to earn a career-best 10th
win and Jose Abreu homered for the second straight game to lead Chicago. Todd
Frazier had three hits and drove in two runs, and Justin Morneau added an RBI
double in a three-run first as the White Sox took the final two games of the
series. Tim Anderson also had three hits.The White Sox staked Quintana to a 3-0
lead in the bottom half. After the As failed to turn Abreus grounder into an
inning-ending double play, Morneau doubled in the first run. Then Fraziers
single drove in two more.I cant control that (throw), Neal said. My job there is
to get a ground ball and try to force two (outs), and I did. Some days its
turned. Some days its not. Thats just the way it is.Khris Davis hit his 32nd
homer, a two-run shot, off Quintana (10-9) who finished with nine wins in each
of the previous three seasons. The left-hander gave up eight hits while striking
out six and walking one to improve to 5-1 with a 2.25 ERA in his last nine
starts.Oaklands Marcus Semien had two doubles and Jake Smolinski singled
twice.Quintana got two quick strikes on Smolinski to lead off the eighth, but
walked him and then was replaced by Nate Jones. After Jones tossed a scoreless
inning, David Robertson go the last three outs for his 32nd save in 38
chances.It helps a lot especially for him, the lack of run support hes had over
a period of time, Chicago manager Robin Ventura said of the early lead. It looks
a little bit like his day. After (the first), he was pretty strong.Quintana, who
entered with a run support average of 3.31 per nine innings pitched -- second
lowest in the AL -- got more help than usual from his teammates, both
offensively and defensively.Center fielder J.B. Shuck made two great catches,
including a running grab of Ryon Healys hard-hit line drive with two outs in the
first and runners on second and third.After Semien led off the fourth with his
second double of game, Davis followed with his homer deep to right center to cut
it to 3-2. Shuck made a another great catch, this time diving to grab Brett
Eibners sinking liner, for the second out.Abreu led off the bottom half with his
16th homer to make it 4-2.FIRST HITPinder, who went 0 for 4 in major league
debut Saturday, was back in the lineup and got an infield single in the seventh
for his first career hit. The As second-round pick in 2013, Pinder is the 46th
player to appear in a game for Oakland this season.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: DH

. The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was
"clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate
effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on
Dec. DETROIT -- For a brief moment, it appeared there might be baseball at
Comerica Park -- when the tarp came off, and both managers walked around the
field with umpires.Turned out the situation was a lot less promising than it
seemed.When we walked the field, it was so soft that we knew if it took any more
water, it was going to be unplayable, Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. So
we were already iffy at that point, and then we got all the rest of the
rain.Thursdays game between the Indians and Detroit Tigers was eventually
postponed because of bad weather, a move that could force the teams to squeeze
in a makeup game Monday if it needs to be played because of postseason
implications. With the regular season scheduled to end Sunday -- and little room
for extra games before the postseason -- the Tigers and Indians waited through a
delay of 4 hours, 13 minutes before the game was finally called.The wild
card-contending Tigers and AL Central champion Indians played a rain-shortened
game Wednesday night, which Detroit won 6-3 in five innings. The series finale
Thursday never began, and if it has to be played Monday, that could cause some
wacky travel scenarios. The postseason is supposed to begin Tuesday with the AL
wild-card game.The teams kept waiting Thursday even as rain fell and the field
took on more water. The Tigers said over 6 inches of rain fell at Comerica.We
know what is at stake, especially with the bad weather forecasts for the East
Coast, Francona said. If we were 20 games out, it would have been different, but
we understood why they wanted to try to avoid everything getting backed up, and
they did a great job of communicating with us.The Tigers begin a three-game
series at Atlanta on Friday night, and Cleveland starts a three-game set at
Kansas City. Ben McLemore Jersey. The Tigers and Indians
would need to play a makeup game Monday if it could affect who makes the
postseason or how teams are seeded.The weather cleared up enough at one point
Thursday to allow the grounds crew to remove the tarp and work on the infield,
but after Francona and Detroit manager Brad Ausmus walked around the field with
umpires, the tarp went back on. The delay continued for about 2 1/2 more
hours.The rainout allows Detroit to push starter Daniel Norris (3-2) to Fridays
game against the Braves, and Jordan Zimmermann will start Saturday night. The
Tigers were initially set to choose between Matt Boyd and Buck Farmer for
Saturday, but now they can avoid that issue.Justin Verlander is slated to pitch
Sunday.Cleveland will push its Thursday starter back a day, too. Ryan Merritt
(0-0) will pitch Friday.The Indians clinched the division with a Monday win at
Detroit, then their top players hardly took the field after that. Cleveland lost
12-0 with a lineup full of backups Tuesday, and after Wednesdays game was
shortened, Thursdays didnt happen at all.The Indians are 2 1/2 games behind AL
West champion Texas and a half-game behind AL East champion Boston, so if
home-field advantage is still at stake Monday, Cleveland will be back in Detroit
to play its 162nd game of the season. The Indians arent supposed to start the AL
Division Series until Oct. 6, so there will be time off even if they have to
play Monday.Wed still get two days, Francona said. Besides, I dont know, it
might be fun to play in a game like that, with something at stake.---Follow Noah
